CORRECTIONS TO THE ARTICLE "BOURGEOIS COMPROMISERS AND PROLETARIAN REVOLUTIONARIES"

OF THE CELEBRATED "PLAN"  
[of the electoral campaign]  
parallel  
elections...

... Indeed, what could be more absurd and curious than this product of the idle fancy [of the revolutionary pedagogue] of pedantic pedagogues...

¹ The article was intended for no. 23 of *Proletarii* from October 31 (October 18), 1905, but was not published in this issue nor in the subsequent issues of *Proletarii*. The author of the article has not been established. Lenin addresses the question of the confusion of politics with pedagogy in a separate note (see *Works* VII, 307).

The hopes of these wretched blind men in the revolutionary character of the Duma serve only to cover the nakedness of their helpless tactics, in which nothing revolutionary remains.
